Thu, 8 Mar 2001 05:36:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author surojit - Let me first start off by saying that I really didn't find anything "ugly" about this particular linux distribution. I've been spending a lot of my time lately installing and toying around with various distributions including the latest Mandrake copy...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hunleyd - I've used Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 and Caldera eDesktop 2.4 both at home and at work. I find it to be a wonderful Linux distribution for the corporate desktop user and the not-quite-an-expert-but-no-longer-a-newbie home user. Caldera does a wonderful job of...

Caldera OpenLinux: Simplicity is Thy Name

Mon, 18 Dec 2000 06:34:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dollarspurgeon - Caldera OpenLinux eDesktop 2.4 is the finest example of how Linux distributions can also be made cool and sample. Although it doesn't include the bells and whistles found in other distributions lie SuSE or Mandrake, it still packs a punch when it comes...

Wed, 6 Dec 2000 21:21:27 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dlash - Caldera's Open Linux eServer 2.3 distribution has been touted as the easiest Linux to install, and offers a fairly complete suite of Linux utilities along with a few Caldera enhancements. Unfortunately, it falls short of the mark when one attempts to use...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author JMeiers - I’ve been a Unix/Linux user for the past 8 years, mostly enjoyed slackware as my choice flavor, some Debian and Red Hat installs came along also. Now that Linux has become somewhat mainstream, I find it much easier to get around using the operating...

Caldera OpenLinux: Linux: Is it that easy?

Wed, 15 Nov 2000 09:16:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - This opinion should have belonged to the general Linux section, but since the server doesn't allow you to post any opinions in that section, I just chose Caldera, since they are one of the most well-known brands in software industry if you start talking...

Caldera OpenLinux: OpenLinux Technology Preview-What's new?

Mon, 28 Aug 2000 00:24:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kfj001 - Linux Technology Preview: What's new again...?

I must say that when a new Linux distribution comes out, I'm all over it. I usually screw around with it non-stop, until I kill it, or until I'm satisfied that it's either good, or bad.

Caldera OpenLinux: Sorry, but it's not there, yet.

Tue, 1 Aug 2000 19:50:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kfj001 - Caldera OpenLinux E-desktop is a fantastic idea. Linux SHOULD be separated from the workhorse servers, and the user-minded desktop's. Because they aren't going to CO-exist together in the same OS.

So, Caldera software, using it's know-how...

Caldera OpenLinux: Not the greatest Linux distro

Tue, 20 Jun 2000 03:02:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sportdeath - Caldera's OpenLinux line seems to have been aimed at end-users coming over from Windows. Which is ok, I suppose. The problem, however, is that there is too much hand-holding of the user, and too much is hidden behind the curtain.

My big beef...

Thu, 30 Mar 2000 20:55:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dazflux - This is the easiest to set up Linux distribution yet. From what I have read this is also the most compatible as of hardware. Just a tip to all Linux newbies, beware of win modems. First boot, setup detects the mouse and sets a generic VGA display...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DDawg - First off, I would like to know why this OS isn't available for opinion in the Personal Computing section. When I tell people that I have installed Linux on my computer, they look at me with that confused look, "Why? Windows 98 is sooo much easier...

Tue, 21 Dec 1999 02:33:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rfc1394a - I had tried installing Linux in the past but could not get it to work. I could get BSD Unix to work and was able to run it. But it was still just a curiosity - a toy, as it were - since essentially all I had was the command-line interface like MS-DOS...

Caldera OpenLinux: Now here's a True O/S

Tue, 14 Dec 1999 17:28:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author solocom - Caldera's Open Linux is an excellent user friendly Operating System. It has some minor issues for installation, but nothing compared to the mess of the OTHER O/S. It installs the way an operating system should and after usage, there's no need to worry...

Mon, 6 Dec 1999 04:31:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - I won't pretend to write this for all the Linux geeks out there. I'm just an average user who wants all the power of a Unix web/email server. I've experimented with Linux in the past, mostly RedHat 5 and 6, but caldera's OpenLinux 2.3 is the first...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mmcteer - I've installed every major Linux distribution at some point or another, but Caldera OpenLinux (current version 2.3) is *by far* the easiest Linux distribution to install. It makes most decisions for you with minimal input and hey, you can even play...

Fri, 12 Nov 1999 20:53:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wonko_the_unsane - Debian GNU/Linux is the Linux Distribution that you haven't heard of; it doesn't get any press at all.

The Debian GNU/Linux project is entirely run by volunteers, so there is no corporation behind it. If you are trying to choose the most open...
